Official summary

Some 2025 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost and 2025 Bronco Sport/Maverick vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost may not be compatible with state emissions testing equipment if that equipment has not been updated to be compatible with the new testing protocols.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
